Hi, wondering if anyone could help me out, ive just discovered a cracked clay pipe which is for sewage waste an wondering what best option would be to fit new pipes? ive currently dug out all waste around pipe and covered with garden lime to try clean up the smell but no idea of best fittings as the pipes are close to ground level. ive attached photo of area and would appreciate any help

Is there any point if pipes are already accesible?
 
Well I can't tell sh!t from sherlock from that photo, so if you want help you'll have to clean up the work area so we can see what you're up against.

Yeah sorry i know its not the best photo will clean it up tomorrow and get a better picture up
 
Cut the pipe to the stack leaving enough room to get a Flexseal coupling on. Replace back to stack with plastic, use another Flexseal to rejoin stack. You may have to break the other pipe out into the chamber, inset a piece of plastic pipe in its place, and couple to a bottle gulley, that clay pot is knackered now. Make good inside and out the chamber with a strong mortar mix.

For god's sake be careful with that lime, you only get one pair of eyes!!! Best option would have been just to wash the mess down with a hosepipe!
 
Thanks for that Hugh Jaleak, will try and get it done tomorrow, yeah the ground was already soaking so didnt wanna hose it down but will get round to it once its dried up a bit
